Was out on Green early Friday morning with a couple buddies. We had a decent topwater bass bite from about 6:30 to 8 AM or so. Nothing big, but they were hitting buzz baits, frogs and spooks. Fun times!

There is a TON of milfoil on that lake. Most of the fish we caught were around the edges. Lots of boats out there later in the morning. Most of them anchored off the milfoil edge and were bobber fishing.

The carp were spawning and breaking surface like crazy.

I went out there last Wed. for an hour and half and couldn't find anything for panfish.....they were just not where they should be...haha but we tried different areas and depths but the water was so stained that we went to Blue and caught a few pannies....I looked back in my fishing diary and notice that green was the same way last year until the mid of July then the action was non stop until mid-sept

Yeah, I couldn't believe how stained the water was on Green. We actually hit bottom in one spot and couldn't see it.

The sunnies on Blue haven't been easy pickings like they usually are, not in the shallows at least.

Blue is crazy that in just one week there were thick weeds in my fish (crappie) holding areas and then like that they were gone!!! The weed treatment they used this year worked and it killed off alot of weeds........

well what ever they used last year didn't do the trick as my weedliines were there all year and this year from fathers day (sunday) to the next Sunday my thick weedline I was working disappeared.......this weedline was there all last year...still found the fish it just took a little longer

Oz,

Did you notice the water turned green much earlier this year? I wonder if that has something to do with it. I remember going up in early to mid June and the water already looking like pea soup like it usually does in August.

Well Juan, soon wound up being last night from 7 till 10. I think we fished in your trail from last Friday for awhile. Many of the bass we were catching had hook marks in their mouths already.

We found another school later that were clean though.

A beautiful night to be out there.

How many did you get Wanderer? Were you fishing topwaters?

I'll have to give it another try. I didn't have much time to explore last Friday.

Yeah, we were fishing buzz baits. We had about 25 blow ups and landed around 15. Biggest was around 3 pounds, most were 2-ish.

We had a better size average last year but less numbers. Hmmm, can't quite tell wich one was more fun.

Nice! I haven't had any consistent topwater action for a long time until then. I'll have to give it a try in the evening some time.

There's endless mats of milfoil slop to throw buzzbaits and frogs into.

We probably missed more fish than we caught but it's still fun watching them hit it.

Boy is green really green out. I dont think I have ever seen the lake that green before. I looks like pea soup. Just last week it was pretty clear too.

Fishhuntnboy,

We were out there about 3 weeks ago and the water was so stained you couldn't see the bottom in two feet of water. My motor started dragging before we knew how shallow it was.

I'd hate to see it now if it got worse. Have any luck?

Yea its weird how that lake changes every week. Cause last week I was shocked when i saw it was clear and then this week it was that green.

I wasnt fishing out there. I was at the access working and checking boats. Everyone I talked to wasnt doing to well. Could have been since the water was so green.

had a friend go out there yesterday...he said he had the boat backed in the water looked down and told the driver to pull foward and get the boat out of the water. He said it was the worst he has seen it that you couldn't see barely an inch into the water.....and we have fished it in some pretty mucky conditions

Juan yea thats the job. This is my second year and final year doing it. Its been fun tho.

Ozzie i think i kno who you are talking about. I talked to a guy and his wife and they had the boat unloaded and then told his wife we are leaving and loaded it back up. I dont blame them. I wouldnt even step a foot in that lake right now.

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
